The Disputed Territories of North Astatontingedo is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 626 million Astatontingedoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Tokyo-3 City. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant North Astatontingedoan economy, worth 10.7 trillion evangelions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,028 evangelions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Astatontingedo's national animal is the angel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Astatontingedo is ranked 100,383^rd in the world and 8^th in Astatontingedoan Peninsula for Most Patriotic, with 16.41 flags saluted per person per day.
